    copied!<p>I have this problem with my contact form. When I submit the form I receive 2 identical emails in my box.</p> <p>Im using JS to check the form for errors and then simple PHP mail() function to send the email.</p> <p>Here is the PHP code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $from = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); $to = "myemail@gmail.com"; $subject = "Contact Form"; $name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name'])); $email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); $number = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['number'])); $message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); $body = ""; $body .= "Name: "; $body .= $name; $body .= "\n\n"; $body .= "E-mail: "; $body .= $email; $body .= "\n\n"; $body .= "Telephone Number: "; $body .= $number; $body .= "\n\n"; $body .= "Message: "; $body .= $message; $body .= "\n\n"; $success = mail($to, $subject, $body, "From: &lt;$from&gt;" . "\r\n" . "Reply-to: &lt;$from&gt;" . "\r\n" . "Content-type: text; charset=utf-8"); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here is the JS:</p> <pre><code>$(".submit").click(function() { var name = $("input[name=name]").val(); var email = $("input[name=email]").val(); var number = $("input[name=number]").val(); var message = $("textarea[name=message]").val(); if (defaults['name'] == name || name == "") { $(".error").text("Please enter your name!"); return false; } else if (defaults['email'] == email || email == "") { $(".error").text("Please enter your email!"); return false; } else if (defaults['number'] == number || number == "") { $(".error").text("Please enter your number!"); return false; } else if (defaults['message'] == message || message == "") { $(".error").text("Plese enter your message!"); return false; } var dataString = 'name=' + name + '&amp;email=' + email + '&amp;number=' + number + '&amp;message=' + message; $(".error").text("Please wait...").hide().fadeIn("fast"); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "contact.php", data: dataString, success: function() { $('#form form').html(""); $('#form form').append("&lt;div id='success'&gt;Your message has been sent! Thank you&lt;/div&gt;"); } }); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>And here is the HTML form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form id="contact" method="post" action="#"&gt; &lt;label for="name"&gt;Name:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="name" required tabindex="1"&gt; &lt;label for="email"&gt;Email adress:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="email" required tabindex="2"&gt; &lt;label for="number"&gt;Tel. number:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="number" tabindex="3"&gt; &lt;label for="message"&gt;Your message:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="70" required tabindex="4"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" id="terms" name="terms" value="terms"&gt;I agree to the &lt;a href="#"&gt;terms&lt;/a&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" class="submit more-info" tabindex="5" value="Send"&gt; &lt;span class="error"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have been using the same code for all of my contact forms and it worked all right. Could it be hosting/server related issue?</p>
